A Bath Hotel Keepers Fight for His
HosteIry.

BATH, Dec. l5.-Last night some sport
was created in the vicinity of the Sagadahoc
House. Baths leading hotel. The owners
of the house has been trying to get the pro-
prietor, James M. Taylor. out for non-pay-
ment of rent and succeeded in forcing him
to close the business of the hotel December
list, but through their failure to properly
serve notice, Taylor still remains Ia posses
sion and he and his clerk, in company with a
keeper placed there by the owners, are con-
slant occupants OF the big hotel. Yesterday
Taylor ventured out, the faithful clerk re-
maining on guard. When he returned
new lock had been placed on the door and
he could not enter. Inside was $1,000 worth
of his furniture, of which he Is anxious his
creditors shall have the benefit. while the
owners expect to hold 1t for rent. Taylor
consulted his counsel and under his advice
made entrance to the house about 9 O'Clock
last evening; the lawyer, William 4. Hogan,
Esq, accompanying him. The keeper In
charge was astonished at their appearance
and sent word to the owners agent, who
appeared beneath the window and In the
presence of one or two hundred amused
spectators loudly called ON the keeper to
keep everything locked and not permit any
one to depart. The crowd fingered until
after midnight, and when everything had
Quieted down, the lawyer made his exit In as
mysterious manner as he entered, which,
however, he says was perfectly legal The
agent for the owners Is William K. Shaw,
cashier Of the Lincoln Bank. Public opinion
is with Taylor and 1t Is the current belief
that Shaw's case is lame. There seems ne
hope of alcompromise and how the affair
will end is puzzle. IL legal steps were
taken Taylor undoubtedly could be ousted.

THE GOVERNORS HABITS.
An Abstemious Man and an Indus
trious Worker.

HALLowELL, Dec 15.-Governor Bodwell
had strong constitution. Although very
stout man, weighing go pounds, be was
abstemious in his habits. He was not a
heavy eater. but enjoyed his meals as well
as the ordinary man. He was apt to be ir-
regular in his table habits, on account of his
immense business, and took his dinner
whenever he could get chance, He never
tasted liquors of any kind. When in the
company of convivial men in Boston, New
York or elsewhere, he Invariably refused to
drink with tkem, and always turned down
his wineglass at banquets.
A prominent member of the State govern
ment who has associated much with Gov
ernor Bodwell since his Inauguration, said
today: Il have noticed at times that the
Governor has not seemed to be feeling just
right. One day, especially, In the council
chamber, l and others saw that he had a
heavy, drow sy look, bnt | supposed that it
was due to his having been out on night
train or something of that sort. l think
Governor Bodwell knew of late that his
heart was not exactly right, and that he
realized when he was stricken at Brunswick
that the trouble was with his heart. | be-
lieve that in the beginning of his sickness
he feared it would end fatally"
Governor Bodwell was rapid and decisive
in the transancti0n of business. One queS-
tion and another would be brought to his at
tenti0n by his subordinates and disposed OF
off-hand. If you had any business with
him, he would ask you to state your case
succnctly, would hear you attentively, and
then would tell you just what he would do.
You could see at once that he had plenty
to do and would not feel like intruding on
his time any longer than necessary. He had
no leisure to sit down and gossip, but al
ways was ready to talk to the point on some
practical topic. His mind was perpetually
on affairs. He always had some new scheme.
He worked incessantly and did not know
what vacation was.

Washington Despatch to the Boston Post.l
The President will be called upon soon to
decide three Maine post ofice cases. Or
lando Currier win probably get the appoint
ment at Hallowell. although young man
named Heath has recently filed papers. Cur
rier is a man about 55 years Of age, and has
all his life been a decided Democrat He
has long lived in Hallowell, and has been an
assessor of the city and candidate for the
Legislature and various county Offices He
Is indOrsed by the State committee and by
Mr.. Clifford OF the national committee. At
Kennebunk, Gearge K. Smith Is still the
leading candidate, and Is indorsed by the
State committee and by Mr.. Clifford. The
Oakland Office does not become vacant until
February, but there are already three candi-
dates for the place. The leading politicians
are for Mccartney or Libby, and are about
equally divided between them. Mccartney
was brave soldier and prominent In Grand
Army circles. having been commander OF
the local post. He has always been Demo
crat and has been a candidate for the Legis-
lature. Libby Is young man Of ability,
whose father Is a wealthy farmer and q
prominent Democrat. A young man named
Crowell has recently filed papers, but he has
not as yet got so strong political backing
as the others.
